Found during an experimental build of busybox:

It should be disabled because Cygwin does not provide this function.

What about implementing sethostname instead?

   extern "C" int
   sethostname (const char *name, size_t len)
...

I didn't consider this as an alternative because I guessed that it isintentional that sethostname is missing.(it is not a typical that someone wants to use Cygwin to change the nameof a Windows machine)
